Council warns of roadwork disruption

As part of the ongoing improvement work at Lime Tree Walk, the road will be closed to traffic over the next two weeks.

The south bound carriageway will be closed first, followed by the north bound carriageway to allow the resurfacing to be completed. The work is due to be completed on 15th September 2008.

Local residents and businesses have been informed and access to Park Primary School, Alloa Family Centre, local businesses and homes will be maintained by following signage within the traffic management system.

A range of improvement works have already been carried out in Lime Tree Walk including:

• replacing the diseased lime trees with heavy standard lime trees on the central reservation
• constructing new footpaths
• adding cycleways
• adding car parking
• putting in railings, gates and street furniture
• soft landscaping
• additional streetlighting for the ''safe routes to school'' programme

These improvements mean that the distinctive and historic wide avenue will be retained as a dual carriageway with space for the passage of vehicles and convenient lay-bys so that cars can pull in. A wide footway and cycle path will encourage people to walk or cycle.

The Council's Property Development Team Leader Ninian Somerville said: "Our contractor has pledged to keep disruption and noise to a minimum over the next fortnight. Should anyone have any concerns over how the work is being carried out, I would ask that they call me immediately and we will try to resolve matters."
